Current District 63 Governor -Toastmasters International. I have been asked what one is to do when they complete their DTM. My answer is: You start on your next one of course! ;-) I have completed 3 DTM's and I am currently working towards number 4. I am also priviledged to serve a Learning Master this year as part of the Toastmasters International education program revitalization.

I love to bake and create in the kitchen. If something catches my eye, I think "hmm, I can do that". I give it some thought and go for it. The food blog I have started is my way of sharing my passion. This love is my creative outlet and a fantastic stress reliever!

I believe in and support Mountain TOP which a wonderful ministry serving the needs of the community holistically. I am an active member of the Episcopal Church and a parishoner at St. Peter's Episcopal Church in Columbia, TN.

My husband and I are active in the Masonic community as well. He is a Mason and Shriner. We are both in the Order of the Eastern Star where we hold officer positions in Franklin Chapter #449.
